I live in Canada where you're required by law to register every gun you own and must go to a gun range twice a week to keep said license. Loose gun control translates to accidental deaths maybe? I don't see it affecting murder rates too much. | ||

Because, you know, you can't fucking stab someone instead of shooting them. | ||

Exclude the county statistics of all American cities, and you would see a lot more on here. | ||

I'm guessing that the periods are supposed to be commas. Baltimore has been much higher on that list I'm disappointed with the their recent fall. I remember back in like 08 it was one of the worst places in the world. In all seriousness though it has to do with the drug trade. I remember a school teacher was killed when I was living down there, this wasn't even inner city it was at the Towson Town Mall. He waited for her in the car didn't know what he'd be expecting but it was a school teacher when she arrived back at the car. The man robbed her and then just stabbed her to death and kicked her out of the vehicle. My aunt worked at Mercy General Hospital and there was an incident where a man was shooting bullets into the ER. I moved down to Cockeysville when I was 16 and used to ride the Light Rail into the city on North Avenue to get drugs. I remember my Aunt used to always say when we were leaving Camden Yards that she wouldn't even use North Ave to exit and we would take the long way out. She said all the locals called it Nulf avenue. So I figured that would be a good spot to get drugs when I was young. But it is more like a syndicate down there. If you get caught beating someone for money or drugs they will just flat out kill you because you are ruining customers. I was never bothered aside from when a man reached inside his coat and I thought fuck this dudes gonna pull a gun and then he pulled out a soda bottle and threw it at me. I think he was a too few stones in for noon time on a Saturday. They advise you if someone walks in front of your car down there inner city to just keep going, run them over and report it to the police because they will just swarm your car. | ||

The blocking-the-car technique is an old trick, a tried and true method of robbery. If a someone passive aggressively blocks your car, just rev your engine and accelerate and they will get the fuck out of the way. Stay safe. | ||

Yesterday, 51 people were killed in Baghdad... It seems like this list is just excluding cities because they don't have 100% accurate figures on them. That's like ranking countries my military expenditures and leaving out the US, most of NATO, China, India, North Korea, Israel, India, etc. and leaving on Switzerland, Monaco, and Haiti. It's absolutely idiotic. | ||
